Recently, due to injuries and health agreements, the Nets have missed many players and have had to play in the game. The role players were given a lot of playing time, such as Ader's absence, so Clarkston was on the starting list and started with Griffin. Against the 76ers, Clarkston did a good job, not only scoring high individually, but also defending well. The Nets lost their hand in the final 114-105 narrow victory, Clarkston played 22 minutes, got 17 points, 2 boards, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and was 8 of 9 shooting, shooting 88.8%, very efficient, if given more time, Clarkston's data will look better.
In the last game, Clarkston proved himself, facing the Raptors, he got 16 points and 7 boards, 8 of 10 shots is very efficient. This time against Embiid, arguably the no. 1 center in the East, and Clarkston is also doing well. In the first quarter, he entered the state, received Durant's pass, played 2+1 strongly, and then continued to receive the pass, the basket hook scored, and then he got a chance on the inside and easily dunked. His defense was also very aggressive, making embiid unable to play. Clarkston continued to hook up in the second quarter, which was really not bad, with 11 points in the half and all five shots.
Clarkston does work well, and when Durant is caught, he can catch the ball to end the score, and he can pass the ball and find more empty teammates. And Clarkston also played very actively, running position, blocking and other hard work are well done. The 76ers chased the points in the third quarter, and Clarkston scored again under the basket, and it was not long before he scored the ball again. And in order to seal Embiid, Clarkston also fell heavily to the ground, almost injured his arm, this young man really fought too hard! There is no fear of getting hurt. However, for the sake of safety, Nash still replaced him, Clarkston was not there, and the Nets' defense dropped significantly.
Clarkston fought too hard, he had just returned from injury, and this time the heavy fall was believed to have scared many people. He continued to play in the fourth quarter, and when the 76ers chased the points, he also showed a European step layup, knocking over the opponent to score. However, the Nets made a bit of mistakes and were still chased close. He went down to rest, nash did not give him the last moment is still a pity, Clarkston actually played well, fortunately the Nets finally won.
The Nets have developed a rushing center, and Clarkston is the naked eye to see the rise. Last season, Clarkston played well, but his confrontation was not very strong, so it was easy to prevent people. But after hard work, Clarkston is now significantly stronger, this time even against Embiid, he is not afraid, even against Embiid, Clarkston also did a very good job, so that he only got 14 points in the first half, and did not have so many too high points.
Clarkston is only 22 years old now, and the lad will still improve, and the Nets can really use him more. Clarkston will be the answer to the Nets' center position, he is 2.11 meters tall, but not slow. He has a large defensive range, he can play on the inside and on the outside, and if the Nets play a small lineup, Clarkston is too suitable. And he has also improved his finishing ability, his ability to eat cake is stronger, in addition to not shooting, today's Clarkston can be said to be all-round suitable for the Nets. And his annual salary is only $1.52 million, which is really worth it.
